You are here

Can you get these in any old hi-fi shop, or are they a bit harder to come buy? I could use over-long screws, but they don't exactly look nice do they?

I've just built a natty little stand for the left-hand front speaker in the home cinema setup (the front right being on a shelf in the TV cabinet/unit/monstrosity thing), and the only thing it needs is a set of spikes.

I'll add the spikes, then swap the top plate for some meaty MDF for better damping, and that should be that.

A related query: living in a flat, I have put acoustic underlay under my carpet. The underlay is about 10mm thick, so even allowing for a bit of squashing when I press on the speakers I suspect the spikes are not actually connecting with the floorboards:

Anyone know where you can get extra long spikes. Am planning to replace my floorstanders with standmounts on Partington super-dreadnoughts.
